Just after the Event Horizon Telescope project announced last week that its astronomers had managed to capture the first-ever image of a black hole, MIT tweeted this image.
Katie Bouman is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard who helped develop the code to find the black hole needle in the haystack of data collected from the effort. This photo shows the first time she saw the results of that work, with the black hole image on her computer screen.

Last month, Leah visited Neil’s university to give a colloquium talk about her neuroscience research. She spoke about things that Neil, a social behavior researcher, doesn’t know much about — brain parts with fancy names such as the “ventrolateral prefrontal cortex.” But he was fully engaged with her talk — and didn’t spend any time scrolling through his Twitter feed (promise!) — because she took the time to explain that what she was really trying to figure out was why teenagers learn differently than adults.
